COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONHuman history is filled with myths and legends that shape and define our culture. Rituals, celebrations, gatherings.. whatever. One thing that’s for sure, is we enjoy a proper shindig. So let’s get the stories flowing and share a little ’Folklore’. A bracingly deep ale, built dark and rich with an elegantly lean body, accompanied by heady aromas of Belgian yeast, earthy hops and gently kissed by a wisp of smoke.

200ml shared with Skinnyviking, from tap at Mikkeller & Friends. Jet black body, fawn-coloured head. Dotted spots to the glassware. Sweet malts and herbal hops to the nose. Flavoured with dark fruits, anise and vanilla sweetness. Roasted bittersweet tail. Medium to full bodied. Another good one from the brewery (Copenhagen, 22.05.2013).

Draft at the Birch. A big, muddy, dark brown beer with a big rollicking head. This has a nice sweet essence, drinking almost like a cola ... chocolate, sugar, but light and drinkable. Interesting and good. (#5030, 5/25/2013)

Pours dark brown nearly black from the bottle. Pour looks to be slightly thin for the style. Dark kahki head foams up nicely and dissapates at medium speed. Aroma is not strong, a bit of roast and some hops that give it a pilsner like aroma (weird). Flavor is roast, bit of dark fruit. Lingering roasted bittersweet chocolate in the palate. Mouthfeel is awfully thin and this is pretty much a porter. Flavor is a little watered down but not bad. I was hoping for more silky smooth here. Overall a decent beer with a great label.
